5Ecological power use –
Eco DECT in the Gigaset AS280 / AS285
Eco DECT saves energy and makes an active contribution to environmental protection. Eco DECT
addresses the following points:
Switched-mode versus conventional power supply
1.The use of switched-mode power supplies (A) in the base station cuts consumption by up to 60%
compared to conventional power supply units (B).

Phone use averaging one hour per day results in a yearly savings of approximately 18 kWh.

2.The new Eco DECT function complements this adjustment: the transmission power of the handset
and base station in idle mode are automatically reduced to zero if the handset is in the base station
and only one handset has been registered.
3.If customers select “Eco Mode”, they can also manually reduce the transmission power of the base
station and handset by 80%; in “Eco Mode Plus” the transmission power in standby can be reduced
by 100%.
Also, the handset’s power consumption can be cut by 31%, thereby increasing talk time by 45%.
However, this reduces the range to about half the distance.

power – depending on the distance to the base station. For example, transmission power is reduced
by approximately 80% at a distance of up to five meters.

7 Material savings
1. Thin-wall technology
Over the last few years, thin-wall technology has been successfully implemented in phone cases.
During this time, wall thicknesses have been reduced from 2.5 mm to 2.3 mm and now average about
1.8 - 2 mm. This corresponds to a granulate savings of more than 20%, without sacrificing mechanical
stability or robustness.

2. Packaging Optimisation
The size and weight of the packaging has been optimised to be in accordance with shipping standards.
The primarily aims of this is to reduce transportation costs for the entire product portfolio.
The basic purpose of primary packaging is to protect the product. Drop and continuous shock testing
(simulating transportation) are required. We use LD-PE film to protect the surfaces of certain parts,
as well as 100% recycled corrugated cardboard as packing material. Film usually accounts for around
4% of the total packaging. Both the film and cardboard can be recycled.

8 Manufacturing
1. Environmental requirements
The Gigaset AS280 and AS285 are manufactured exclusively in Germany. Gigaset Communications
attaches prime importance to compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. Through its
management system and environmental performance Gigaset Communications is able to meet
these requirements and continues to improve. It goes without saying that Gigaset Communications
also respects all local environmental requirements.
. Effects of automation
2
The high degree of automation in Gigaset Communications production processes has a limited
impact on the environment through energy saving and efficient machine utilization. For example,
the electronic circuit board of these devices is produced solely on a production line with a cycle time
under 6 seconds and an efficiency greater than 75%.
3.
Manufacturing concepts
Gigaset Communications believes in a short feedback path for testing. All process parameters
are controlled cyclically so that any problems can be detected promptly (before they arise) and
nonconformance is minimized. Every step in the value chain is checked separately to help identify potential errors at an early stage. Process controls and short feedback paths for testing therefore
minimize material waste (components and process aids). Rejects are continuously monitored with
the goal of achieving a rate of less than 1%.
4. Refuse disposal
Packaging material and electronic scrap are strictly separated in “environmental islands” at Gigaset
Communications production facilities and recycled by local service providers. To reduce volume,
the individual materials are compacted by roller presses. The compaction ratio for cardboard boxes is,
for example, 6:1. This enables more efficient transportation of around 800 tons of cardboard per year.
5. Work safety
Gigaset Communications is especially
committed to protecting the health and
safety of its manufacturing employees.
This is why Gigaset Communications takes
such great care to protect its employees at
their workplace. This includes steps such
as responsible management, instruction,
sensitization and process engineering,
prevention of and planning for emergencies,
systematic investigation into the causes
of accidents, quick availability of medical
aid, documentation, regular reporting and
continuous improvement.

9 Transport packaging
All suppliers of packaging to Gigaset Communications
GmbH are members of RESY (Organisation für
Wertstoff-Entsorgung GmbH). RESY, an organization
for the disposal of valuable materials, was established
in light of the German Packaging Ordinance.
This ensures the return and recycling of paper and
cardboard packaging used in transportation within
Germany.
Each user is given a four-digit ID that, along with
the RESY symbol, must be printed clearly and visibly
on paper and cardboard transport packaging.
ll secondary packaging has the RESY symbol on it
A
to indicate that the specifications of the Packaging
Ordinance for transport packaging have been met.

10Distribution
hen goods are shipped to the customer, they are consolidated regionally at the Siemens AG level
W
and then distributed as part of the IDS network. As a result, the cargo space in each means of transport
is optimized.
he Siemens Logistics Network (SLogN) is the basis for the efficient and secure movement of goods.
T
The core of this transport network is a pool of highly qualified service providers who offer the best
prices and performance thanks to the pooling of Siemens-wide needs.
The use of transportation resources is being optimized by continuing improvements in the size of
product packaging. The packaging units of our suppliers are optimized ahead of procurement to ensure
the means of transport is fully loaded (e.g. containers in the case of sea freight).
In overseas logistics chains, we try to ensure that marine transport is used as frequently as possible.
Transportation of goods by rail or inland waterway is preferred over trucks because it reduces emissions
by 50%. Air freight for transporting goods internationally is the exception and out of principle shipment
by sea has priority.

11Disposal
Our takeback concept
In accordance with European directives on the disposal of electrical waste and electronic equipment
(2002/96/EC), packaging (94/62/EC) and batteries (2006/66/EC), these waste materials may not be thrown
away as domestic refuse. The relevant national statutory regulations must be observed and the waste
must be disposed of via the approved channels.
12Our service concept
In case of
If a device should ever prove faulty, it is not replaced by a new one but repaired and returned free of
defects to the customer. This concept has significant advantages. When devices are replaced by previously
repaired products, the law requires that cosmetic parts, such as cradles, receiver insets or microphones,
are also replaced. Our service concept eliminates this, which saves materials and resources.
This product environmental statement is not a warranty for the qualities of a product. It also does not warrant that the product retains a specific quality
for a specific length of time. It is for information purposes only. We reserve the right to modify product design and specifications without prior notice.
